Just bought a 2017 C300 today and I love it! It had 37K miles on it and I got it for $18,500 after trading my previous car in. I’m a young single woman with no kids in my foreseeable future (LOL) and only 5’3” so I love that it’s compact, especially since my previous car was compact as well. And to top it off, my car payments are $120 cheaper ($295 a month). Yeah I’m VERY happy with this purchase!!!
Wow, thats a good deal
What's yo ig ? Lol
Im just about to purchase a 2017. My price tag is a lot higher.. The car being compact is my only real flaw.. I'm 5'9, feels a little tight.
is this a girls car? cuz I just bought the 2019 one lol
@@samuelchoi1432 how tall are you?
Thanks Joe I love the variety of cars that you still show us
That really means a lot!
I just got a 2020 with 33k miles on it and it's the perfect car for me and I've had 3 Benz so Ik how to take care of them and my favorite cars I've ever had tbh
Love this idea of pre owned car reviews, great job Joe!
CPO is recommended to average buyers but also be cautious with some unscrupulous dealers Very informative episode
Thanks for sharing that great input! I really appreciate you watching!
I just bought my 1st car. Iam 46 and always had trucks but my new job iam driving 180 miles a day and needed a car. I bought this car yesterday. You made me feel better about buy it. I have heard mix reviews. Hope it turns out to be a good car. I paid 30k with extra warranty. Car had only 25k miles. I really love the E but couldn't afford it.Thanks for sharing this.
Mercedes CPO program has worked out great for me. Bought a loaded 2014 e350 Sport as a certified pre-owned in the fall of 2016. It had 14,000 miles. Had two years left on the warranty and maintenance. Mercedes CPO program added another year of warranty unlimited mileage. Sticker was $64,000, paid $34,500.
Do you have the option to extend the warranty more?
Mercedes’ design is so stylish and minimalistic at the same time.
Thank u for this content. Great car but cost so much to get it fix. Same gos with oil change and maintenance too pricey. Almost reaching 🔥100k🔥 joe! Keep up the goooood work!
👍💯video💯👍
Not here in South Flawrida! Here, we get a cosigner, flasify tax returns, inflate pay stubs, then spring for the C63s. Oh, then drive it for 60 days before it gets repo'd. Damn, I love my peeps. 😁
I appreciate that you're reviewing pre-owned cars. Could you provide info on what guarantees come with "certified" vehicles. What does the certified warranty cover beyond the original warranty? Does it come with free service check-ups? etc. Thanks!
CPO review’s are great, thank you!
What does CPO?
@@5norlaxx Are you asking what it stands for? Certified Pre-Owned
@@cjsgamingworld7568 oooooh lol thank you 🙏🏽
Very nice looking merchandise buddy 👍Bigger is better 😆🏎💨
When has Mercedes ever used a prop Rod to hold up the hood?
Think you can get a golf r with a drive review Raiti? Or maybe a gti v golf r review?
I just test drove a 2017 C300 yesterday which was almost exactly like this one. First time I’ve ever driven a Mercedes. Very nice car, and now a CPO C-Class is definitely in the running for my next ride.
Thanks for sharing that great input from your experience!
Great video I bought A 2017 mercedes 😀
Going to the dealer ship tomorrow and buying one tomorrow I’m so excited
what settings you use for pov videos !? it looks good
I will only buy certified preowned so this is a good segment
Hey Joe big fan of yours here! I have a question I am on the market for a used car and it’s between this c300 2017-18 and a 2017-18 Infiniti Q50, some of things I look for are safety features, awd and reliability fun to drive as well, please advise me thank you 🙏🏼
Great video my friend 👍🏽 I’m BIG on German engineering and currently own a Porsche GT4 and E36 m3.. That being said the newer generation 4cyl turbo Mercedes engines arent the greatest unfortunately. I Had two C classs one ended up being a lemon they couldn’t fix with engine problems and the other It was a similar story so I had to sell it. Mercedes certification is good but you don’t wanna drive rentals all day.
I have a 4 cylinder Benz Turbo and it is fantastic….good power, good MPG. Curious why you think these are not good engines?
On my 3rd CPO Mercedes and it is the only way to go..
I pick up my C300 today at the dealership. Really excited. Its identical to this one.
How has it been? I’m looking at a 2019 c300 right now
It's been great. Had it about a year and a half. Great car!
Awesome video!!
Hello Joe good afternoon I really like this 2017 Mercedes - Benz C300 2.0L Turbo, it has decent power and sounds pretty good. I would love to see a 2019 Mercedes - Benz G63 AMG 1 day. Thanks Joe.
I am getting them together!
@@RaitisRides Thanks Joe
Great car review.
NOOOOOO BLUETOOOTH though .... please exlain why there is not way to stream your music from your phone so that it sync everytime you get in the merc. Im not taking about bluetooth sync to your phone. This car does not have bluetooth to connect to your phone to stream youtube or spotify or anything off your phone, it only can answer your phone calls.
Aswome video man, do you use the gopro hero 7? i just bought mine and excited ti use it for pov videos
I upgraded recently to a GoPro 7, but this was filmed with a 5.
Car * Driver cites 0-60 of 6.2. I own a C Class and there is no lag at in Sport Mode, particular with the Sport Paddles. Considering the mileage, I will take 6.2. I get 24 in town and over 35MPG on the hwy in cruise.
I think CPO is the best way to purchase a car, so long as you are alright knowing that it is used versus new. Is CPO better than another used car with less miles and selling at a lesser price better? That depends....
IMO, they are a bit of the same (if purchasing from a real dealer). The difference, I have found; is that the MX will come in handy... stupid issues that one might have encountered at near or close to the near that same mileage of the original or out of warranty car get fixed on the CPO warranty.
I haven’t purchased a brand new car since my e92 M3 (it hailed in AZ, a few months after I purchased my brand spanking new M3 Comp... broke my heart).
Very good points Dane!
I write/comment simply because of my own experience... I took some co-workers to lunch in my CPO’d car about a decade ago and they wondered if stuff was covered... naturally, dude in the backseat out down the window and broke it (window regulator)... that costs $600 to fix out of warranty. CPO warranty, about one hour of my time to drop it off and wait.
Now, I wish I did the same for my M3 about a month out of warranty... AC went... 900 bucks. It does add up if you choose not to have a warranty or some sort of insurance.
sticker was 42,000 got mine for just around 22k... certified is the way to go plus the warranty!
That is well done man!
38000 for 27 getting it today 😊
That’s very good it will be well worth it enjoy!
how many miles ?
@@jaimin4829 38k
I really want to buy c300 But I have heard some people complaining about the Maintenance is the maintenance too high for Mercedes’ c300 ?
CHEF: what would you like to eat sir?
DOUG: an appetizer please
Is the side skirt trim below the door 3M stick on or bolt in on the underside? Is it chrome or brushed aluminum?
Extra warranty, I don't understand Doesn't the original warranty transfer over to the new owner?
The previous C was a nice looking car inside and out.....now not so much
Hey thats where I brought my 2018 C300 4matic at
Not appropriate titled. Little or no emphasis on a certified preowned, its pro's and cons. what to expect and your experience if any. 21:33 mins
As Nice As That C300 Is I Was Surprised It Didn't Have The Burmeister Premium Sound System...
Obviously wasn't Premium Plus trim level. I have a C300h AMG premium plus . Love it!
I’m 5’5. There is a ton of leg room in the back seat when I’m the driver.
CPO is the best way to buy any car. I laugh at those who buy new cars because they just lost at least 10% of the cars value the minute they turn out of the dealership's lot. Always let the first person take the depreciation hit & buy a CPO w/ under 10k miles & you'll save yourself a lot of cash.
Yeah who cares, your used car will have thousands of miles in which you don’t know how the previous owner treated it. Good luck with second hand
EXACTLY
@@isimonsez lol it's a car it's going to be fine especially under 10k miles with a warranty. That's even before the first oil change.
@@isimonsez CPO means the cars have a warranty to 100,000 miles or 5 years, whichever comes first. It is the best way to go.
What kind of transmission is in it.
Love this damn car!! Just picked up a 2018 with 23,485 on the clock for $22,999!!!! I’m in love 🥰
From which dealer??! What a great deal!!
@@joygoldstein6289 echo park in Texas. Thank you! It was a steal
Lmao probably salvaged title, no way you paid that with that kind of miles with those issues. dealer would be robbing themselves.
@@brixtonasher lol damn, hating much?? I guess the saying is true, misery loves company. The car is clean and I came upon a great deal. Deal with it homie
I’m looking to purchase one, do u have any issues with it this far? By the way, congrats 🎊 you really got a very good deal. The one I’m looking at is 2017 with 36k miles for about 35k.
Is it worth putting a downpayment for this car at age 17 and what price is the best
I’ll comment Bc I’m also interested in this question
I would try Carvana. I got the same car for $21K with 0 down.
im about to saturday its cpo and putting 25% down
It is It hesitant at all. Select one of the two sport mode options and away you go!
How reliable are these long term?
Is it normal for the 2016 c class to have minor rear bumper gap?
Quad tip ! You should be a Kia dealer!
You’re wrong about the Quad Tip
Is the screen / gage cluster flickering or is just the camera? Wtf?
It is the camera.
I’m thinking of getting either a C300 coupe (2.0t fully loaded at least but used or certified preowned, or a Camaro 2ss 2014 or 2017 and up mainly 2014 gen for the price) I have a great credit (760) I’m 23 and I have a great savings account. Does anyone Reccomend this car over a Camaro 2ss? (I currently have a Kia Optima SXL turbo 13’ fully loaded from dealer) thanks for all responses!
You have a tough decision on your hands.
Raiti's Rides yes I do what would you do thanks for the reply
I am looking at C300 too. Did you ever purchase..?
Tiffani Monique actually no I never bought it. But I do Reccomend it. Just remember to keep 2-4K on the side at all times for maintenance. Never miss them. I know someone that has it and it’s a very nice car especially for you the money now and options it comes with.
Tiffani Monique czcams.com/video/ARMZctGXgUQ/video.html check this link out before you buy and also contact him he responds. You’ll also see me in the comment section and he answers great questions. Good luck
gonna zonk those grills hey
I feel you!
This one or the BMW 328i ????
I'm deciding between these two as well
Joe, no need for a bigger engine.
I’m looking in getting a c300 myself as my first car. Would this be a good option? Anything I need to know about this car? Thanks in advance.
Sure if that is what you like.
Eduardo.... Don't ask Joe anything about cars. He never gives you a straight answer. Unless it's from a live Q&A but on YT he's wack with providing real advice.
MSRP part is missed!
40-43 probably
See, lets consider the price, value and options. You could get a fully loaded out Toyota Camry XSE V6 with all the bells and whistles, more horsepower and a panoramic roof... I always weigh the options in comparison to german certified preowned vehicles.
some people prefer fine dining over fast food, just saying...
You can also get 4 for $4 at Wendy's but doesn't mean people won't go to fancy restaurants.
But, then you are driving a Camry…
Do you even know your cars? The Toyota Camry XSE has less HP than the c300. If you're going for reliability rather than luxury then just say that boomer.
But in the end its still a toyota thats everywhere and owned by everyone.
*Raiti in your vids you sometimes ask for a 'car review' request. I've made this one to several YT car reviewers and still no bites (and I am 100% serious BTW) . . . I'd love to see a **_full_** review of a 1931 stock (!) Ford Model A. Double clutchin' and all. NB: There's a method to my (request) madness*
Would you recommend one of these over an LEXUS IS 250?
lexus is alot more reliable and more sporty IMO. get the new IS350 its awesome
@@habs7646 but they're also a lot more expensive. Lexus don't depreciate nearly as much as Mercedes. You can get this C300 for 30k w under 25k miles.
Mercedes are as reliable as any other vehicle, if maintained. I have a 2012 model and a 2015 model…no issues with either of them, and I get the maintenance done at AAA repair for normal prices.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on these.
A used Benz ,BMW or Audi is just a money pit,stay away people, sorry Joe
Bigdog Bulldog endless money pit 🌚
Bumper to bumper extended warranty
These CPO cars are particularly bad. Basically, they're fleet returns, former dealer maintained loaner cars or are they're just lease returns from some ditz that drove the car like they stole it. For the CPO process, the dealer does just a basic inspection that you could get at Pep Boys, "Certifies" the car, slaps on a CPO sticker, gives the car, in the case of Mercedes-CPOs, a ridiculous 12 month warranty, and then they charge thousands more over a non-CPO car.
Not a midsize. It’s a compact sports sedan
“Sports”
ok "s class"
Price?
Give Paul Brown a call!
Yerp I guess almost 100 years is "around for decades", it's not a ..... Kia lol...
I reviewed one myself.....Lets just say it didn't hold up well lol
what do you mean
I’d probably get a Mazda 6 or Optima over a small used German luxury sedan imo unless If it were a highly optioned one.
AGREED!
How much was this listed for?
Give Paul Brown a call!
The car goes from 0-60 in 6sec not 6.8
Still slow
I am looking to trade in my 10th gen accord for one of these. Getting bored of the Honda reliability lol. Let me know your thoughts do you thinks that’s a good move? Prices seem to check out.
Do it you only live once Honda so boring
I have 2 Mercedes now…a 2012 GLK and a 2015 C Class. Both have been excellent to drive and reliable. You CAN get the yearly maintenance performed at Goodyear, AAA, etc for far less than what the dealer charges. My C Class is a blast to dive in Sport Mode with the paddle shifters. I say go for it because Hondas are boring as hell and life is short.
2017 c300 comes in only one engine trim which is a 4 cylinder! Does not come in a V6 or V8. V6 and V8 are reserved for the AMG trim like C43 and C63.
True but they are still C class vehicles.
L S he’s reviewing “C300”!
Jon Doe AMG C43 and C63 and C63S are all “C” class. He just didn’t elaborate that in order to get a 6 or 8 cylinder you have to get the AMG trim but those are still “C” class vehicles.
L S C300 is not in the same league as C63s, GLC43 or C43. C300 is ordinary Mercedes (lower level).
Jon Doe Look up 2017 C300 and you will see that the AMG’s aforementioned are in the “C” class. They are a trim option. I know where the C300 is in the line but that doesn’t change the fact that the AMG C43 and C63 are “C” class also. That’s why the “C” is in their name. Don’t confuse class with league. If you want a 6 or 8 cylinder “C” class get one of the AMG C options. It will still be a “C” class.
This car says bluetooth but its only for the phone. No USB, No AUX port. I went to a dealership today and tested out a 2011 C300 with 98K miles Silver and the sales guy was telling me it had bluetooth. On my testdrive i loved the car. When we got back, i asked hey lets sync my phone and play my tunes...FAILURE. Then he said i have to buy another device to make it play music. And merc did not intend you to hook up an aftermarket bluetooth you have to always enable that input to sync thats crazy, So i refused to the car. Sad to say the car was clean and nice but dont mess with music folks. Mercedes take note, make sure you have bluettoth in all your C class cars.
That’s 6 years older than this car
In my opinion, buying the lowest trim level in either bmw or Audi or Mercedes is not the best idea
Base model entry level German "Luxury" cars aren't really all that luxurious, they're surprisingly spartan.
emdec55 may ask what do you mean by surprisingly spartan
@@TecDLogic Spartan is the opposite of luxurious. You think you'd get many features in any Mercedes, but their base cars are very basic.
emdec55 i know that’s why it’s a bad idea, I mean I don’t like German cars but if I would buy one (IF) I would definitely choose the highest level
I agree, if I'm buying a premium brand car, I would definitely go for the highest or second highest trim level. That only can be done if you have the extra money. Base trims on premium cars are not worth it imo.
If I can't afford a ~70k vehicle on those premium brands, might as well just afford a high trim Corolla.
Base model cars of any brand to be honest, imo would be only if "you can't afford" the car.
If I have the money, I will always aim for the highest trim no matter what brand of car. But if I can't afford non of the highest trims then I'll have to settle for a base model.
Why do you never introduce your passenger on these test drives, Joe?
It's a bit creepy seeing nothing but a pair of hairy legs over there from the interior shots and not know who they belong to.
If that’s what you’re paying attention to you have issues
@@mikebetancourt6403 I have several issues of Playboy Magazine dating back to the Fifties, if that's what you're referring to.
is there a spare tire?
Yes there is!
6.8 second god damn
I know right!
I wouldn't buy a C300. I drove one recently and it felt underpowered.
Buy the C350 instead. A much better choice.
I totally agree with you!
The 2019 4Matic is pretty "torquey"
I don't think there is C350 from W205 models.
HansDelbruck53 Was that the one with the 4 cylinder or the 6 cylinder or the 8? 🤨
The only C350 you get in a W205 is a plug in hybrid C350e based also on the GLC 350e platform the replacement for the C350 is the C450 or the C43AMG
You good I’m from north iraq
NO...I would never buy a Mercedes out of warranty!! you are looking at costly problems or any German car for that matter!
I'd buy a W123, W124, great cars diesel
Mercedes has a preferred extended warranty for their CPO vehicles
like it is YES !! empty $ pits after 50k miles !! Get a Lexus !! I have a 2013 Lexus ES350, recently traded in my 2013 X5 with 101k miles for it. Only 30,009 on Lexus when I bought it. Car is flawless and looking forward to years of high reliability!!!
@@stephendibari7704 Lexus is bullet proof
Michael Conlin The engines generally aren’t the big issue, Mercedes makes good engines, its the rest of the technical and electronic issues that cause resale value to drop, costly maintenance and ownership gets bigger the older it gets.
You lost me at “love the headlight housing”. They should have NEVER offered these or any other Mercedes with halogens; makes the thing look off and cheap.
Sounds anything but quiet
You mean 130 years? Lol
You've got to be rich to afford a Benz and they are expensive to work on they are good cars but only if you're rich and I'd never buy a German car out of warranty anyway
What's more unreliable than a Mercedes...a used one. They use so much plastic under the hood.
Very nice point!
Most people who bad mouth Mercedes never owned one but they always say "I heard " anyway no car is perfect get what you like and enjoy because you can always trade it in for something else !
2015 design, hard pass
Apple car play?
not in 2017 or 2018..sad
NEVER!!!!! It’s always asking for problems, so many issues with Mercedes no one can say anything good about their reliability since it’s so horrible!!!!!! I would never ever buy a Mercedes that is 2 to 3 years old your asking for problems and it’s just a money pit. I rather buy a 10 year old Lexus than get this horrible Mercedes. They just aren’t worth the money and smart people buy Lexus since they last forever and still have great resale value!!!!!! That is why you never see any older Mercedes on the road. I rather pay more and get more in a Lexus.
Agreed
Did you own one and if yes what problems did you have with it ?
It is 2013 and I have a 2015 C Class and a 2012 GLK: absolutely no reliability issues with either of them.
Dude you talk a lot i like i like i like i like
I would rather have a new loaded brand new Accord than one of these in used trim. German cars are riddled with electrical problems.
ok buy that then lol while i enjoy my mercedes
@6ix Boss I pay $155 for oil change at my mercedes dealership. I haven't had any problems the 3 years since purchased. You can't go wrong with benz or infiniti to be honest
it seems .... cheap
